I scanned once with 10000 bytes, which found some false positive duplicates. I rescanned with 5000 bytes and got a higher count of false positives.
Now, okay, that could be due to the padding issue with mp3 files, but there wasn't just more when the byte count was reduced - I had different files detected in the two scans. This suggests an element of randomness to the hits. I will re-run the test on 7.6, when I get the scanner to actually work! _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
